For the attention of Mr. Burdon. Dear Sirs, With reference to the Lockheed brake equipment we fitted up when you were over here. We are altering the layout and require the following additional parts - Two brass nuts for 1/4" outside dia. pipe. " " " " 5/16" " " " also two straight through junction pieces one for 1/4" pipe and the other for 5/16" pipe. We require these pieces because we are moving the position of the master cylinder and it is necessary to lengthen both the pressure line and supply pipe to it. We will send an official order for these parts. There is no object in your paying us a visit to do this as it will be sometime before the car is on the road. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
